Okay, sounds good to me.  I'll make the changes this afternoon.

What do people think of having the resource tree unified with the xwt
object?

  xwt.apply(xwt.box, xwt.com.megacz.app.main);

This is elegant for a lot of reasons, mostly because before your
"universe" was defined by *two* things: your XWT object and your
resource root.  If they're the same thing, it's a lot easier to
explain alternate universes to people.

BTW, you can now get a new box just by reading from xwt.box.  No
function-call syntax needed.
